Finally, a game that spoofs games has been created and has met with some amount of success in Europe, where it was
released and where it'll probably stay, given that the game's lovable Asterix and Obelix characters are virtually
unknown here in the parochial Estados Unidos. That a spoof has been released anywhere is an indication that maybe the
medium is maturing in a good way, that there's enough of a body of games out there for larger understanding to
emerge.

Atari (the game's publisher) claims that Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission Las Vegum is a
"SPOOFISHLY INSANE" (caps theirs, not ours) opportunity to interact with over a hundred different game icons
from Mario to Lara Croft. MTV's Stephen Totilo reports that Lara has gotten fat and had a sex change in the game.
That's funny because she's also plumped up a bit in real life too. Sometimes life
imitates art.

Have any of you folks across the pond given it a try? Is this game as funny as its marketers claim it is?
